The effects of the local lifetime control on the characteristics of IGBT are investigated using the 2-dimensional device simulator, MEDICI. Many lumped resistive turn-off simulations are carried out to analyze the effects of the minority carrier lifetime, the width, and the position of the region with a reduced local minority carrier lifetime. As a result of these simulations, it is concluded that the on state voltage drop$(V_{CE,SAT})$ is only slightly increased while the switching behavior is greatly improved if the low lifetime region is properly set. And these results are compared with IGBTs having uniform lifetime.

Purpose - This research examined the relationship between business orientation and business goals and satisfaction of Korean-American business owners. Research design/data/methodology - Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) and Small Business Orientation (SBO) were the theoretical constructs underlying this research. The responses from 200 Korean-American business owners who participated in the 2005 National Minority Business Owner Surveys were used for data analysis. Results - Noneconomic business goal was positively related to business owners' SBO tendency, and those with a SBO tendency had the higher business satisfaction than those with EO. Conclusions - The findings suggest that policy makers should develop business assistance programs that correspond with owners' business orientation.

Minority Carrier recombination should be suppressed for high efficiency solar cells. However, impurities in the silicon bulk region deteriorate the minority carrier lifetimes, causes conversion efficiency drop. In this study, we introduced phosphorus external gettering for silicon heterojunction solar cell substrates. Gettering was undergone at 750, 800, 850 and $900^{\circ}C$ in furnace for 30 minutes. Bulk lifetimes and calculated diffusion length were improved. We applied phosphorus gettering to silicon heterojunction solar cells. Gettered group and ungettered group were used as substrate of silicon heterojunction solar cells. After fabrication, characteristics of solar cells were analyzed. The results were observed to see the enhancement of substrate quality which directly connects with solar cell properties.

This paper presents a proper condition to achieve high conversion efficiency using PC1D simulator on sri-crystalline Si solar cells. Various efficiency influencing parameters such as rear surface recombination velocity and minority carrier diffusion length in the base region, front surface recombination velocity, junction depth and doping concentration in the Emitter layer, BSF thickness and doping concentration were investigated. Optimized cell parameters were given as rear surface recombination of 1000 cm/s, minority carrier diffusion length in the base region 200 $\mu\textrm{m}$, front surface recombination velocity 100 cm/s, sheet resistivity of emitter layer 100 Ω/$\square$, BSF thickness 5 $\mu\textrm{m}$, doping concentration 5${\times}$10$\^$19/ cm$\^$-3/. Among the investigated variables, we learn that a diffusion length of base layer acts as a key factor to achieve conversion efficiency higher than 19 %.

본 연구에서는 BJT(Bipolar Junction Transistor)와 MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) 등을 1MeV에너지의 전자빔을 선량을 변화시켜가며 조사시켜 그 특성 변화를 분석하였다. BJT에 대해서는 조사 전, 후의 전류 이득의 측정을 통해 base 에서의 minority-carrie의 수명 변화에 의해서 전류 이득이 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, MOSFET의 경우는 oxide 지역의 전하량 변화에 의해서 문턱 전압이 영향을 받음을 확인할 수 있었다. BJT의 minority-carrier의 수명 감소량은 조사 선량이 증가함에 따라 직선적으로 변화함을 알 수 있었고, MOSFET의 문턱 전압의 변화는 nMOS와 pMOS의 경우 서로 다름을 관찰할 수 있었는데 이는 oxide내에서 발생하는 전하에 의해 차이가 남을 알 수 있었다.

c-Si wafer에 HWCVD로 증착된 a-Si:H 박막은 초기에 낮은 passivation 특성을 가지나 열처리 공정을 통해 효과적인 passivation을 가진다. 열처리 공정은 온도와 시간에 따라 큰 차이를 보인다. 이에 열선CVD를 이용하여 n type의 c-Si 기판에 a-Si:H을 증착하여 열처리 온도에 따른 Minority carrier Lifetime를 QSSPC를 통해 passivation 특성을 측정하였다. 온도는 $150^{\circ}C{\sim}270^{\circ}C$로 변화하여 측정하였다. 또한 열처리 시간을 10분씩 증가시켜 열처리 시간에 따른 passivation을 연구, 1ms에 이르는 Minority carrier lifetime을 얻었다.

In this work, we used the PCID simulator for simulation of solar cell and examined the effect of front-back surface recombination velocity, minority carrier diffusion length, junction depth and emitter sheet-resistance. As the effect of base thickness, the efficiency decreased by the increase in series resistance with the increase of the thickness and found decrease in efficiency by decrease of the current as the effect of the recombination. Also, as the effect of base resistivity, the efficiency increased somewhat with the decrease in resistivity, but when the resistivity exceeded certain value, the efficiency decreased as a increase in the recombination ratio. The optimum efficiency was obtained at the resistivity 0.5 $\Omega$-cm, and thickness $100\mu\textrm{m}$. We have successfully achieved 10.8% and 13.7% efficiency large area($103mm{\times}103mm$) mono-crystalline silicon solar cells without and with PECVD silicon nitride antireflection coating.

A model is presented to explain charging phenomena into the oxide layer when a metal-oxide-silicon(MOS) capacitor is driven by a large amplitude and high frequency ac signal sufficient to produce avalanche injection in the silicon. During avalanche, minority carriers are injected. It is assumed that some of these minority carriers attain sufficient energy to surmount the potential barrier at the interface, and then inter the oxide. Measurements of C-V curves are made for the MOS capacitor with p-type silicon substrates before and after avalanche injection. This paper studies how charging in the oxide and the interface depends on oxide properties. It is concluded that this charging effect is related to the presence of water in the oxide.
